Fall 2018 Alpha Mu Tau Fraternity

Greetings to All!

I hope this time of year finds everyone with a

little cooler weather. I know in South Texas we

are finally rid of the 90-95-degree tempera-

tures we had experienced since last June.

I want to thank Suzanne Butch for initiating the

project of creating endowments for all our

scholarships. The Scholarship Committee,

along with the Treasurer, Finance Committee

and our Executive Secretary, will need to work

out the details for the allotment given to each

of the Scholarship recipients. By creating endowments for each of the

scholarships, the Alpha Mu Tau Fraternity will always have monies for

our students.

I am looking forward to the ASCLS Annual meeting in Charlotte, North

Carolina. Our organization has teamed with the American Association for Clinical Chemistry for

many years, and our move away from AACC will certainly change the atmosphere of the meet-

ing. The location should provide the membership with a less expensive venue, thus allowing us

to contribute more dollars to our various scholarships. Our President Elect, J.R. Constance, will

be working with several people in the Charlotte area to look for a venue for the AMTF dinner.

More details to follow as we get closer to our meeting in June.

I want to remind everyone that if you have a candidate in mind for membership in AMTF please

have them fill out the AMTF membership application and forward to J.R. Constance our Member-

ship Chairman.

See everyone in Charlotte or perhaps at the ASCLS Clinical Laboratory Educators Conference in

Baltimore, MD.

Kristina Martin

I began my laboratory adventure at Michigan State University (MSU), completing my under-

graduate degree in Clinical Laboratory Science, followed by and internship at Henry Ford Hos-

pital. Thereafter, I accepted a position as a generalist at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michi-

gan. I worked in all sections of the lab and across all shifts. Throughout this time, my level of in-

volvement in ASCLS increased by attending meetings and acting as a moderator during the

state spring meeting. During one of these meetings, I was introduced to the new Biomedical La-

boratory Diagnostics Masters Program at MSU. After completion of the Masters Program, I took a

position at the University of Michigan Pathology Department as the Specimen Processing Super-

visor. Several years into that role, a new position was created within the department. I stepped

into this new role, and have been in that position as the Clinical Pathology Operations Manager

for almost 8 years. Over this time, I have taken several leadership roles in ASCLS-Michigan, in-

cluding the position of President. I’ve supported legislative efforts lead by ASCLS and organized

Lab Week at my institution to promote the profession. When I’m not in the lab, I enjoy various

activities such as triathlons, vintage baseball and coaching “Girls on the Run”. My love for rec-

reation has also let to starting a non-profit for my local community.

I have been active in ASCLS since 2001 serving the ASCLS-Wisconsin board as a director, secre-

tary and president. I have served the national ASCLS organization as the Education Scientific As-

sembly vice-chair and chair. I am currently serving as the national coordinator of the ASCLS Sci-

entific Assemblies and as vice-chair of a newly formed Body of Knowledge Committee. Of the

service I have offered ASCLS, the most significant to me is the ASCLS-Wisconsin student poster

event, which I have coordinated since 2003. Over 100 students present posters related to labor-

atory science practice and research at the ASCLS-Wisconsin annual convention. It has been my

great pleasure and reward to meet future laboratory professionals through this activity.

Community service and giving back are also important to me I served twelve years as a mem-

ber of the board of education in my Milwaukee areas school district and continue to serve the

Village of West Milwaukee as a member of the local plan commission. Professionally, I worked

for twenty years in medical laboratories in the Milwaukee area, including supervising a heavy

metals testing lab with accreditations in industrial hygiene and NIST. My medical laboratory

background set me up well to manage these specialty accreditations. Today, I am the Director

for Academic Initiatives and Planning in the College of Health Sciences at the University of Wis-

consin-Milwaukee, where I manage eLearning and Flex Option Competency program and in-

struct future medical laboratory scientists in the UWM MLS program.

Karen Golemboski

I received a BS degree in Medical Technology from the University of Louisville in 1979. We had a

guest lecture in Immunology that year, who inspired me to pursue a Ph.D. after graduation. I

worked in Special Chemistry and Hematology while in graduate school. After receiving my

Ph.D., I was the Technical Supervisor in Immunology. When my husband finished his degree, we

went to Cornell University for Post-doctoral work. There was no clinical laboratory opportunity

there as Cornell’s Medical School is not at the main campus. I held research faculty positions at

the School of Veterinary Medicine for 14 years while doing research in immunotoxicology and

nutritional immunology. I returned to Louisville as my parent’s health declines, I taught at a

medical magnet high school prior to taking the position as MLS Program Director at Bellarmine

University in 2004. Since then, I have renewed my involvement with the profession and with AS-

CLS. Much of my professional activity has centered around my work with the Patient Safety Com-

mittee.
